Album of 55 gelatin silver prints (178 x 235 mm), including two 4-part folding panoramas (178 x 940 mm), dated Oct. 3, 1902-May
7, 1903, documenting the construction of a large dock facility on the southern side of the Riachuelo near the South Basin
of the port of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Background

The construction of the main port of Buenos Aires, begun in 1887 with funds supplied by Argentine businessman Edward Madero,
was completed in 1898. In that same year, the Buenos Aires Southern Dock Company was formed in London to build a dock on the
south side of the Riachuelo, a project that had been planned ten years earlier but had never been started for lack of money.
